Most strikingly, researchers claim scans show potential chambers, corridors and tunnels along with a thick underground layer dividing into three parts – a feature they compared to God's command in Genesis for Noah to build the Ark with three decks.

Yes, it could only be Noah's Ark, it couldn't possibly man-made tunnels and chambers hewn into the ground or built then covered over.

Noah’s Ark resting place 100% confirmed

Thread hijack! TLDR Biblical geneology nonsense incoming:

Well, the issue with dating the flood to significantly earlier than that is the geneology in the bible.

There are 10 generations between Adam and Noah. Let’s write that whole pre-flood time period as allegory.

There are only 10 more generations between Noah and Abraham.

There are only 6 between Abraham and Moses. Moses was the one who started writing everything down, and just 4 more generations to King David.

The bible then tracks 14 generations between David and the Babylonian exile and another 14 generations between the Babylonian exile and the birth of Jesus (at least according to The Gospel of Matthew). The Gospel of Luke claims a different geneology of 42 total generations between David and Jesus rather than 28, which is a pretty massive difference.

If we assume an average of 20 years per generation, and assume that the genealogies are correct (big assumptions, I know, but just roll with me), counting back from 0BC as the birth of Jesus, the Babylonian Exile would have occurred around roughly 280 BC, and the reign of King David would have been around either 560 BC or 840 BC.

That would date the biblical exodus to roughly 80 years before that, so 640BC or 920 BC.

That would place Abraham around roughly 760 BC or 1040 BC, and Noah at 960 BC or 1240 BC.

The genealogy just doesn’t really make sense with generations that short.

On the flip side, if you use a longer average generation of 30 years (and tack on some extra time for Moses because he was so old), you can date the Biblical exodus to around 1450, which isn’t that far off from the estimated date for the Hyksos expulsion (1550) and the Eruption of Santorini which likely destroyed the Minoan civilization (between 1500 and 1600 BC). Some scholars suggest these 3 events are linked, that the erupting volcano caused the plagues of Egypt and provided the Pillar if Fire by night/smoke by day, and that the Hyksos Expulsion is simply the Egyptian propaganda account of the Exodus.

If we meet in the middle at 1500, that traces Abraham at around 1700 BC. Thus, Noah would still only be around 2000 BC.

Now, the easiest explanation is that the Bible is write about some things and wrong about others, that it is impossible to verify any geneology, but even less so anything post Babylonian exile or pre Moses. On the other hand, the Bible is incredibly accurate at place names, geography, fauna, flora, and accurate distances between landmarks.

That’s one of the things that makes the Bible so interesting from an archaeological perspective. There’s so much interweaving of the fantastical and grounded verifiable descriptions of independently documented places and people combined with timelines that seemingly don’t make sense and geography that clearly does.

If Heinrich Schlieman can find Troy, it’s hard to dismiss any old religious text as pure myth.

AI Mode Conversation: noah's ark 1988 radar results: noah's ark 1988 radar resultsThe 1988 investigation at the Durupinar formation did not successfully yield radar or deep core results.While the site was surveyed with early ground-penetrating radar (GPR) in the late 1980s by independent researchers like Ron Wyatt and geophysicist John Baumgardner, mainstream scientists and geologists widely dismissed the findings as a natural geologic formation.The specific details regarding the 1988 campaign include:Failed Core Drilling: Between July 28 and August 7, 1988, researchers Salih Bayraktutan and John Baumgardner attempted a core drilling campaign, sinking four 3½-inch holes across the formation.Corrupted Data: The drilling attempt failed to reach the necessary depth to verify subsurface structures. Furthermore, the few core samples they did retrieve were completely corrupted by the water used to cool the drill bit, rendering the physical sampling inconclusive.

furthermore:

The Durupinar Formation (frequently claimed as the Noah's Ark site) has been subjected to major ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and subsurface scanning campaigns multiple times, prominently featuring major successful scanning efforts in 2019, 2025, and an expanded 30-channel/3D radar deployment in 2026.


im not saying this, the collective knowledge of Artificial Intelligence is saying that GPR hasnt been successfully used since 2019 in which structures were found. the core samples will shed light on what those structures are, but you would be wrong if your stance was ground penetrating radar supports it being nothing more than a geological formation. that has yet to be seen one way or another.

I saw this claim in a movie, In Search of Noah's Ark, when I was a kid. It’s still bull.

according to AI, that 1988 GPR was ineffective. dude couldn't even successfully pull off a core sample. not a strong leg to stand on.

---

just FYI, the 1988 study "proved" it to be the Ark. Fasold was a originally a believer.

all of known human knowledge is telling me the 1988 GPR results were ineffective

It definitely was. It didn't "prove" anything. You asked if they had used GPR before. And they did. It showed the "walls".

yet you are saying the opposite.
